Beijing Olympic Games finally opened on August 8, 2008 with a grand opening ceremony. The show took viewers on a tour of Chinese culture and inventions. One of the great moments for me is the count down and "Fou" performance at the very beginning of the show. 2008 performers in unison playing the ancient Chinese percussion instrument, Fou. Fou is the earliest Chinese Music Instrument. Normally made with Chinese clay pottery or Chinese Bronze.

The opening ceremony also features Beijing Opera performed by Puppets and the singing of Kun Opera.
